Tom's mind was swirling in darkness until his ears stopped ringing and heard the sound of choppers.

He groaned and opened his eyes and found his hands tied and saw Quaritch beside the pilot. He turned to see that they were airborne and from the looks of it, it seems other choppers were following them.

Why?

He wracked his brain for an answer and memories came crashing down like a Tidal Wave.

"Quaritch..."

Ton gasped out, the RDA leader turned to him with a grin "Good morning sunshine, your up early than your sister"

Emmy?!

He glanced beside him to see an unconscious Emersyn with a hint of bruises marring her face. He quickly twisted so that he was facing her and tried to shake her awake.

"Tom..."

Emersyn groaned and opened her eyes and Tom sighed gratefully. Emersyn slowly sat up and saw Quaritch and she growled "Bastard..." Quaritch turned to her.

"I thought women aren't allowed calling bad names to others and are trained to be obedient species"

"Well shit that obedience cause I'm going to kick your ass so hard your going to running back to your mommy!"

Quaritch laughed before turning his attention to the front. Emersyn shifted her gaze to Tom "Are you okay?" Tom chuckled and looked at her "I should be the one asking that" Emersyn glared at him.

"Says the guy who did something reckless and tried to face it alone"

The shadow of Hometree came and Tom was beginning to get more and more frantic in trying to untie his bonds as did Emersyn.

"I really hope Jake told them already"

Emersyn mumbled and Tom sighed "We have to do something!" Tom and Emersyn looked at him "I'm working on it!"

The sibling jumped when a rain of arrows pelted down on the Dragon Ship and Quaritch suddenly sighed and ordered every chopper to fire down the tree.

It was a nightmare.

The screamed of the people clouded my mind as I watch them take down Hometree, from the back of my mind, I heard a cry of pain.

Tom shifted and saw Jake and Grace tied up and screaming at the Na'vi to run. Quaritch gave himself a satisfaction grin "And that's how you scatter the roaches" Tom glared.

"They're not animals! They're living, breathing people that are for too noble and too human for the likes of you!"

Tom and Emersyn charged at him, since their hands were tied together, they used their feet and weight as an advantage.

Emersyn kicked the nearest RDA soldier and Tom banged his head to Quaritch. Though Tom was fit, his daily stays on the link pod made him weak as was Emersyn and the two were soon overpowered.

~oOo~

I grunted when a hard fist connected my face. My vision swam with me as I stumbled, I'm pretty sure that's going to leave a black eye.

Toms screams of pain filled my ears and when my vision sharpened, Quaritch had dislocated Tom's arm.

"Bastard!"

I charged only for him to cut my breathing hole. He stared at me dead in the eye "Don't mess with those superior to you" He dropped me down hard and the most terrible thing happened.

Hometree gave a groan and slowly, it fell...killing Na'vi below it and (to my satisfaction) choppers.

I didn't know a wail had come out of my throat because all I heard were the cries from the Na'vi.

I didn't even feel us already leaving, their cries still fresh in my mind.

~oOo~

The scientists had watched he entire thing with horror and now they felt they couldn't keep this up with the RDA destroying a beautiful planet like they had destroyed Earth.

"Unplug the link"

Selfridge suddenly spoke and Max stood up to intervene "You can't do that!" Several other scientists tried to stop them but they held guns in their arm.

Norm punched an RDA soldier but it ended up with him being chained to the rails.

Jake couldn't look at anyone in the eye. Guilt and pain had clouded his mind and heart, not only from his siblings but also himself.

~oOo~

The RDA were decent enough to put Jake and the others in a cell. Norm was leaning on his arm as if he was tired and just wanted all that has happened so far to end. Grace was looking up at the light as if some miracle would come down from it and save them all.

And Jake...

Jake wanted the world to swallow him up. It was a mistake for him to come here and ruin everything Tom and the others had worked so hard for.

And Neytiri...

Her horrified and betrayed face will forever plague his mind as a punishment for what he had done.

The doors suddenly flew open and Tom and Emersyn came tumbling down. Tom had a sling on his dislocated right arm while Emersyn had an obvious black eye and bruises on her face.

"What happened to you two?"

Jake gasped in horror at the state his siblings were in. Tom gave him a wry grin "We did a good job in pissing Quaritch off. We saw the while thing Jake, I'm pretty sure the one who got it hard was Emmy"

Emersyn lay motionless and have no means of getting up from her position and Jake winced. Her pain and guilt rolled off in waves. What added Jake guilt was the familiar face Emersyn had

It was the same face she wore when he got injured and when mom died, A face of defeat.

~oOo~

Fire.

Screams.

Pain.

Cries.

Those were the only thoughts swirling in my head and I fought back to hold the tears that were starting to show. I could feel Jake's heavy guilt but I couldn't find the strength to comfort him.

The RDA won and I could predict that this world is as good as dead like Earth.

Do you think you would want that to happen?

That question came out random but it made my eyes widen. Do I want this to happen?

An image of Pandora's beauty compared to Earth's barren wasteland it had become thanks to us made me come to a decision.

"No..."

All eyes went to me as I slowly stood up, my face dead set on what I was going to do "No What?" Norm asked "I mean no I won't give up on this planet and there is no way in hell am I running away from it" All eyes stared at me before Tom spoke.

"Emmy's right, not as long as this planet still lives there's hope"

Jake looked at his brother incredulously "We are facing an army full of guns and bombs here Tom, its impossible" I grinned "That was what I always thought until now. We have to keep fighting for this planet to survive, for goodness sake we're Sullys! Children of the famous Amanda Davis and Christian James Sully!"

Something bloomed inside of Jake before our attention was turned to see Trudy pulling in a cart full of food. She smiled and chatted animatedly with the soldier before I saw her pull out a gun and knock the guy over.

"Trudy!"

Norm smiled as Trudy grinned and called out Max. He bounded in with an ID that opened the cell door.

We quietly dashed to the choppers "Trudy, fire up the ship!" Max spoke and Trudy immediately handed Norm her gun. I turned to Grace "We need to take another chopper. One shack can only hold two link pods" Trudy threw another gun hidden in her belt.

"Don't scratch that!"

"No promises"

Tom and I headed for a vacant chopper a few yards away from Trudy's. Tom nervously looked at me as I pulled out two wires "You sure know how to drive a chopper?" I shook my head "Let's just hope that my training wasn't in vain"

I waited for it to start while trying to ignite the spark of the two wires "Come on baby..." I mumbled and the engine veered to life. I fist pumped the air when bullets suddenly came flying in.

"Fly!"

Tom screamed and I quickly pulled up and followed after Trudy that was already zooming away.

"Yeah!"

I heard Jake scream with joy in the radio and Norm's cacophony of happy noises in which Trudy joined in with a relieved chuckle. I chuckled with relief before pain exploded in my left shoulder, Shit!

"Norm you good!?"

"Yeah!"

"I'm good too"

Tom called an turned to look at me only to notice my pained expression and became worried "Sis?" I turned to him and saw a dark blotch of blood on my shoulder.

"Grace is hit!"

Jake suddenly called with worry and I cursed "So is Emmy" Tom said with worry through the radio. I grunted as I tried to steer the chopper.

"Trauma Kit's forward on the bulkhead"

Trudy informed and Tom scrambled for it. I tried to steady my breathing "Can you bandage yourself up?" I nodded and slowly moved away to let Tom take control.

I sat down and slowly started bandaging myself and hissed when pain comes "Hang in there Emmy" Tom called from the back.

"I am fine Tom, its just a bullet wound on the shoulder it is Grace that I worry about"

"Grace is fine, as long as we keep the pressure on. We're nearing at Site Sector 26"

That was reassuring.
